Where to begin?
Maybe at 6:10am when I got out of bed. In a good mood. Listening to great music. I love sleeping in!
Maybe at 8:30am when I was running on the treadmill, in my own little world, exercising and worshipping my little heart out.
Maybe at 10:30am when we left for church.
Maybe at 12:15pm when Pastor Jerry hit us with the shofar! And made me smile.
Maybe at 2:10pm, during the service, when God reiterated why I was doing what I was doing. And Katie promptly sent me a text message elbowing me from across the church. Ouch!
Maybe at 2:30pm, after the service, when we stood around the baptismal pool, waiting for the festivities to begin!
Maybe at 2:45pm when I made Katie put my certificate to the end of the list (from the beginning) so that I would go last (instead of first).
Or maybe, just maybe, after 8 other people confirmed their decision to follow Jesus, it was my turn.
I climbed in the pool.
And smiled.
And giggled nervously.
There were some questions.
Pastor Jerry spoke for me, for a few minutes, telling everyone my story.
And then,
Soaking wet, smiling from ear to ear.
A song.
“I have decided to follow Jesus…no turning back, no turning back”
A prayer, a blessing, an anointing.
And a self portrait picture with Pastor Jerry ;)
Now, don’t you feel like you were there? If not, don’t worry, I have it on video, thanks to Melissa ;)
God is great, and so faithful…and I’ve committed to following Jesus every day for the rest of my life…wherever He leads me!
